Phil Kretschman: 1j uMIAQS +51
Scott Appel: 306 ?EEILOR Phil Kretschman: 393 IW
Securing the win here is a simple matter of arithmetic. uMIAQS counts 51, putting me up 87. With only one (and zero) pointers left, Scott's out-bingos cannot exceed 72 points (3c cARRIOLE), and most count 71 down the n file. In either case, the fourteen from my rack will give me either a one or two point win.
What I overlooked, tho, is the very clever 12f LIS +9, giving me an extra turn to play uMIAQS, and catching a few extra spread points while risking nothing.
